slide 15 bones quiz figure 6.3 pg 140
______ are rings of hard calcified matrix formed around the central canals, which together form osteons
Concentric Lamellae
_____the basic structural unit of compact bone
osteons
______are the small spaces between the lamellae which contain osteocytes
Lacunae (little lakes)
______are tiny canals which radiate in all directions from the lacunae; are filled with interstitial fluid and fingerlike projections from osteocytes
Canaliculi (little channels)
______ are found between osteons
fragments of older osteons that have been partially destroyed during growth and remodeling
Interstitial Lamellae
_______encircle the cortical region beneath the periosteum and encircle medullary cavity
Circumferential Lamellae
Spongy bone contains no true _____
osteons
lamellae are found in irregular framework or latticework called _____(little beams) - thin plates of bone scaffoding
trabeculae
within the trabeculae are _____ that contain osteocytes
lacunae
radiating from the lacunae are _____containing the extensions of osteocytes
canaliculi
Bone Tissue is Highly _____
Vascular
the artery associated with the diaphysis is named the _____ (can be more than one nutrient artery in a single diaphysis) and it enters the bone shaft through the _______
nutrient artery, nutrient foramen
the _____is especially rich in sensory nerves
periosteum
The process by which bone forms is called ____
ossification
Formation of Flat Bones in an Embryo
Intramembranous Ossification
Formation of Long Bones in an Embryo
Endochondral Ossification
Growth in Length
a.k.a._______
- occurs only in cartilaginous regions of long bones
interstitial growth
the ______ permits growth of the diaphysis of long bones
epiphyseal growth plate
______ dividing mitotically lay down cartilage lengthwise (endochondral growth)
chondrocytes
note that bone tissue itself cannot _____
grow in length
At adulthood, the epiphyseal plates close and bone replaces all the cartilage leaving a bony structure called the ______
epiphyseal line
Bones grow in thickness at the outer surface
a.k.a. ______
appositional growth
is indirectly responsible (through the induction of insulin-like growth factor, IGF, expression) for the lengthening of bone at the growth plate during infancy, childhood and adolescence
Growth Hormone
